Heartfelt and Thoughtful

PHOTOGRAPHY, ILLUSTRATION AND DESIGN

A windswept and multi-passionate creative

Up the Hill Creative, where its windswept but beautiful. With a couple of stories to tell, and a visiting fantail, you’ll find that up here we like pencil lines and paint strokes, stripes and flowers, blues and greens (and maybe a spot of pink?!).

My work weaves story, memory, and a bit of magic into whatever form it takes - a painted hat, a small business brand design, your family photo or something else entirely.

Up the Hill Creative is home to thoughtful design and heartfelt illustration and photography.

Welcome, please take the time to smell the flowers.
